To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the fearless air and ground crews, RCAF McDonnell Douglas CF-18A #761 Demonstration Hornet was given a special paint scheme. The upper portion of the aircraft pattern resembles the early 1940s earth tone and dark green camouflage used on Royal Air Force and Commonwealth Hawker Hurricane Mark IIs and Supermarine Spitfires. The tail contains murals of events and persons related to the battle. The aircraft will be piloted by Captain Denis “Cheech” Beaulieu.

Variants A and C are single-seat while B and D are tandem-seats. The Hornet can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases and has the capability of in-flight refueling. A total of 1,480 A-D variants were built.
